COL-1 COL-2
Month Cumulative Revenue (Without help)
Jan-09 2.20
Feb-09 5.36
Mar-09 10.28


COL-3 COL-4
Dates Cumulative Revenue (With Help)
Mar-25 0.20
Mar-28 1.50
Mar-31 2.50
Apr-2 3.25
Apr-5 4.65

I want to show ONE CHART where the revenue trend with help has been better
than the months without help

I tried using COL-1, COL-2 in primary axes and col 4 in secondary y axis. I
am not able to put COL-3 into secondary horizontal axis.

Default Secondary axes issues

I expect I could have worked with two sets of data using Paste Special but I
put my data into a single table
date Without With
1-Jan-09 2.2 #N/A
1-Feb-09 5.36 #N/A
1-Mar-09 10.28 #N/A
25-Mar-10 #N/A 0.2
28-Mar-10 #N/A 1.5
31-Mar-10 #N/A 2.5
2-Apr-10 #N/A 3.25
5-Apr-10 #N/A 4.65
Made an XY chart
Put the With data on a secondary y-axis
Using ChartTools | Format | Axes | Axes, I add a secondary x-axis
I then adjusted the scales of the two x-axes
Email me (get address from website), ask for DoubleDate workbook and I will
send you a file
best wishes
